Synopsis

“Alex The Inventor In The Fantastic Scrapyard”, is the story about an inventive boy named Alex Faraway and the adventures he encounters with large, robotic insect creatures (both good and evil) and a strange girl who he finds living in the old, abandoned scrapyard just beyond the backyard of his rural home. The crux of the story deals with unexpected connections that Alex soon uncovers between the robots in the scrapyard, the girl, "Rainah“, and the planet Mars; but it is not with the Mars that we know of today, but with Mars when it was ten thousand years younger. And since his earliest memories, Alex has somehow known that his long-missing father is on that distant planet as well – why, he does not yet know, but he hopes to find him, somehow, someday. And how might he travel to that distant planet to search for his dad? Why, in the spaceship he is building in his workshop nearby the scrapyard (with help from his own loyal robots and a fantastic engine called the D.I.I.V.E. Drive) of course. But, will the wicked ones, namely the Others, lurking in the scrapyard allow him to leave? Suspend, for just a little while, all that you hold to be the usual, the normal and venture into the world of Alex the Inventor; after you do, you may not wish to return.
